How does the Safety Canopy

System work?

The design and development of the
Safety Canopy system included
recommended testing procedures
that were developed by a group of
automotive safety experts known as
the Side Airbag Technical Working
Group. These recommended testing
procedures help reduce the risk of
injuries related to the deployment of
side airbags (including the Safety
Canopy).

The Safety Canopy system consists
of the following:
• An inflatable curtain with a gas

generator concealed behind the
headliner between the A and C
pillar.

• A headliner designed to flex open

above the side doors to allow Safety Canopy deployment.

• The same warning light, electronic control and diagnostic unit as used

for the front airbags.
